Inner Renewal Of Isaiah 55:13
Isaiah 55:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 55 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plain summary: Hardship is replaced by beauty in the inner landscape. The replacement—fir and myrtle—becomes an everlasting sign of the LORD within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the awake mind, Isaiah 55:13 reveals that the thorn of apparent lack or hardship can be supplanted by the fir of new life and the myrtle of fragrant peace. These images are not external events; they are shifts of consciousness. The inner I AM, the awareness that you truly are, exchanges harsh growth for beauty, making the inner ground a permanent sign of God within. When you understand that God is the I AM in you, the promise becomes practical: your inner landscape is renewed, and your life follows suit because imagination creates reality. The line about an everlasting sign not cut off is the assurance that this change is not temporary; it is a fixed feature of your being, a living symbol that cannot be erased by circumstance. Thus the old thorny patterns yield to virtuous growth; the brier yields to fragrant myrtle as you dwell in the feeling that you are already the blossomed thing. This is the practice: acknowledge the end, revise the present, and feel the reality in the body as if it were already so.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, I am the fir tree replacing the thorn; I am the myrtle in place of the briar. Feel the inner warmth and hold that sensation until it becomes your ordinary state.
